The State of Israel needs to do everything within its power in order to help the Darfur refugees," MK Yuli Edelstein (Likud) said Friday, "because they have been through a terrible massacre and returning them to the area they escaped could cost them their lives."

"Assistance should be given to refugees from Darfur and no one else," Edelstein said. "Otherwise Israel will become a place of refuge for hundreds of thousands of Third World refugees."
